Chapter 200
The census near Kizikus has ended. After Timur's western expedition, there were still 42 people gathered here, a large part of them were ordinary people who fled, and they were all Christians.

Farmers settled mainly in the coastal plains, while nomads followed the tribes in the mountains.The Governor ordered the construction of several roads to link these areas together.Locally produced fur, cotton and other products can also be shipped to the port for sale, allowing it to quickly restore the economy.

The Church established the basic framework of the place, one dome officially replaced the other, and missionaries opened schools and hospitals to bring those who had lost their way back on the right path.

The station system and newspapers were also spread to Anatolia, and the exchange of cultural information became frequent.

"I heard that if you go to Constanta and take the exam, you can become an official"

"True or false, I'm afraid it's not the lord's lie"

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes."

Some businessmen who came back from the Balkans talked about their views in Constanta. They had never seen the wealth and culture there, especially the army and elected officials. Civilians can also change their lives against the sky. Excited, they lamented that the good days are coming, let's shout long live for the Bartram family.

Speaking of Constanta, the city on the Black Sea coast has grown into a large port of nearly 5 people.All kinds of goods from the Black Sea will be sold or changed hands here. The local textile industry, metallurgy industry, shipbuilding industry and other industries are also very prosperous. In addition, there are universities and libraries in the local area, with a strong cultural atmosphere.

The history of Wallachia compiled by the University of Constanta has been completed. This history book from the conquest of Dacia by the Roman Empire to the establishment of the Principality of Wallachia has added gaps in the history of Wallachia.

Before the Roman Empire crossed the Danube, it belonged to a powerful country - the Kingdom of Dacia.Under the leadership of the great leader Brebista, Dacia's national power is thriving: But the good times didn't last long. The Roman Empire coveted the rich Dacia for a long time, invaded many times, and was repeatedly defeated by Dacia in more than 100 years. People's tenacious political and military resistance failed to succeed.In the spring of 87 A.D., the Roman emperor Domitian sent an expeditionary force to invade.The Dacian king Decebal responded calmly and led the Dacian army to defeat the enemy.In this battle, Decebal showed superb commanding skills, outstanding strategic vision and overall view: the Dacian army lured the enemy deep, and after the Roman army went deep into the steep Oort Valley, they made an ambush. Kill the Roman commander Phoscus and annihilate the Roman Expeditionary Force.

After Trajan came to the throne, he was determined to gnaw down the hard bone of Dacia.He crossed the Danube with an army of 15 and launched the Dacian War.Facing the powerful Roman army, Decebal formulated a strategic counterattack plan that can be called a classic in the history of war. He led the Dacian-Germanic-Salmit alliance army to avoid the frontal attack of Rome, and from the Dobroga area in the east. Cross the Danube and go west, go around to the back of the Roman army to cut off the supply line between the Roman expeditionary force and the Roman mainland.When Trajan learned of Dacia's movements, he hurriedly transferred the main force eastward along the Danube to prevent Dacia from attacking from behind.The battle lasted for several days and ended in Roman victory.Rome then occupied Dacia and began a 200-year reign.

Later, the barbarians invaded, and Rome had to give up the land north of the Danube.But the Romans who lived on this land stayed. For more than 1000 years, they were invaded by many nomadic tribes, and there are very few documents left, so this period of time is called the Dark Ages in the book.

In 1330, Wallachia gained independence from Hungary. After 60 years of various wars and incidents, it finally soared into the sky and became a big country spanning two continents.This is the most detailed and exciting thing.

In addition to history, poetry, prose, architecture, painting, etc. have made great progress and integration in Constanta.Greek mosaic paintings and northern Italian tempera paintings were introduced to Wallachia. As a large number of constructions started, the demand for paintings rose linearly.

After partitioning the Balkans with Moreia, cultural exchanges between the two places became frequent.A large number of Greek scholars came to Wallachia, and nobles and businessmen also admired Roman art and sponsored a lot of it.For example, a nobleman in Telvorno invested 4000 lei in some artists.

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures were admired, and as the center of ancient Greek culture, Athens naturally became a gathering place for many intellectuals.They discussed philosophy and art in the ruined Acropolis. From Socrates to Plato and Aristotle, philosophy began to revive, a cultural group began to form, and the Eastern Renaissance began.

Constanta is undoubtedly one of the centers of the Renaissance. In addition to it, major cities such as Bukuriesti, Iasi, Turvorno, Skopje, Adrian and other major cities have also set off a retro style.These cities also have one thing in common, that is, they are the most economically developed places, and they are the local economic centers.

Mircea and the Senate used all their means to support the economy. From the unified currency, weights and measures, to tax cuts and subsidies to the industry, no country in Europe has issued so many orders, but Wallachia did.Despite the small rebellion that accompanied it, it was all worth it.

Facts have proved that Wallachia's efforts have been successful.All walks of life are developing rapidly, and exports have skyrocketed. Domestic grain can not only meet its own needs, but also be exported.Wealthy classes such as rich peasants, factory owners, and wealthy businessmen increased, and middle classes such as teachers, doctors, and brokers also expanded rapidly.With the increase of these people, more taxes will be collected, and they can also become social mediators.

Economic growth was also accompanied by the search for markets. Merchants formed small groups and went to Naples, Sicily, Lithuania and other places, following the example of Venice and Genoa, establishing business stations and seeking privileges.After the Ottomans fell apart, Wallachia signed a trade treaty with Karaman and the Mamluks of Egypt. Wallachia merchants could do business in Antioch and Alexandria, and also got a small local area as their special trade zone. .

Wallachia is beginning to threaten their lifeline.This word Wallachia began to threaten their lifeline.This sentence had a huge echo in Venice, and everyone knew that Wallachia's entry into the Levant and Egypt was a threat to their spice routes.Every year they import spices worth up to 1000 million gold coins from Egypt. Once Wallachia takes root, Venice's profits will definitely drop, which they don't want to see.
